NOTE 5. This Type Certificate (TC) has been designated "ABANDONED".  A “Notice of Intent To Designate as 
Abandoned Certain Type Certificates Issued in the Restricted Category,” was published by the Federal 
Aviation Administration (FAA) in the Federal Register on August 8, 2003 (68 FR 47379).  That Notice listed 
this TC. The FAA received no comments on the published Notice. The FAA has been unable to contact this TC 
holder. Hence, the FAA has determined that this TC holder is not complying with its Continued Operational 
Safety (COS) responsibilities.  Therefore, no additional aircraft will be added to this TC and no additional 
original airworthiness certificates will be issued based on this TC.  The effectiveness of this TC is limited to 
those aircraft that received original airworthiness certification prior to the incorporation of this note (Date of 
Incorporation, January 24, 2005). Subsequently, if the TC holder is located and assumes their COS 
responsibilities, the restriction(s) imposed by this note may be lifted.
